Investigators said the assailant and the victim were in two cars that were slowing because of a crash on the highway, when a man in a beige car rolled down his window and fired one or two shots from a high-caliber weapon.

Officials said the victim in the second car was struck in the head, and a woman passenger was not hurt.

The victim was flown to Lawnwood Hospital for treatment.

Deputies said they're searching for the beige car, possibly a 1999 or 2000 Saturn. The driver was described as an older white man with white hair.
